all criminal nazi ONU sharia ] Autopsy raises questions whether Christian's death was suicide. Published: May 02, 2014. Young man’s dead within 24-hours of his refusal to convert to Islam. Haroon Haidar. World Watch Monitor. The autopsy report on a Pakistani Christian killed by gunshots raises questions whether the death was a suicide, as the owner of the weapon has claimed. The Punjab state medical examiner’s report on the April 16 death of Haroon Haidar potentially indicates he suffered two injuries to his skull, raising questions whether the 24-year-old married father of two could have killed himself. Surviving relatives have asked the examiner, Dr. Rizwan Naseer, to clarify whether the two injuries are the result of two separate gunshots, which would indicate someone else fired the first, and fatal, shot. Haroon Haidar’s father, Haidar Masih, said his son had been threatened a day earlier by a coworker angered by his son’s refusal to convert to Islam. It was about 9 a.m. on April 16 when Haidar Masih, working at Pakistan Printing Press, received news that his son, Haroon, had been killed. He rushed to the spot in Lahore where a Bank Islami Pakistan is under construction, and where Haroon worked as a sweeper. Police already had cordoned off the area. There, Haidar Masih said he learned from police that a security guard, Umar Farooq, the only person present with Masih in the building at the time of incident, had told police he had left his pump-action shotgun on the table and had gone upstairs to the washroom, where he heard the gunshot. "The police told me that the guard says that as soon as he heard the noise he rushed downstairs where he saw Masih had killed himself by shooting in the forehead with his gun," Haidar Masih told World Watch Monitor. Five hours later, the family and relatives were allowed to view the body. "The entire skull above the eyebrows had been blown off while the body was lying in the sitting posture on the sofa," said Khalid Shehzad, who runs a registered center in Lahore that provides food, education and legal assistance to Christians. He lives near Haidar Masih’s home. Shehzad told World Watch Monitor that Haroon Haidar’s surviving relatives and friends told him he showed no signs of depression or leaning toward suicide. "Rather, they said that he was happily married and a well composed person," Shehzad said. He said Haroon Haidar had a 2-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son. His widow, Hina Bibi, said her husband was a faithful man and they were leading a happy life. "I cannot believe my husband can kill himself," she said. "We had plans for the children’s better future, sending them to school for a respectable life in society."Shehzad said that the police, regarding the death as a suicide, originally did not want to register a case. They relented late that night after dozens of Christians blocked the road.In the police report, lodged in the Naulakha Police Station, Haidar Masih said his son told him the day before he died that he had been threatened at his workplace on account of his religious beliefs. "The security guard, Umar Farooq, at the Islami Bank has forced him to convert to Islam and in case of refusal he would kill him," Haidar Masih testified in the report. Police Investigation Officer Muhammad Arif said Farooq claimed he couldn’t have pulled the trigger. "Farooq says that he had left the gun on the table and had gone to the washroom upstairs," Arif told World Watch Monitor. The autopsy of Haroon Haidar, April 2014. World Watch Monitor. The autopsy report concludes that "the cause of death in this case is total injuries (1, 2) to brain with firearm weapon." "The post-mortem report doesn’t explain much so we have submitted another application to the doctors (to) clarify whether one shot was fired, or two," Arif said. He also said the gun is being inspected for fingerprints. Haroon Haidar’s cousin, Parvaiz Babloo, who was on duty as a sweeper at the Mayo Hospital at King Edward Medical University when the body of his cousin was brought in, said police asked the authorities to declare the death a suicide."The duty doctor plainly refused and asked the police to first register a criminal case, then the autopsy could be conducted," Babloo told World Watch Monitor. He said the doctors were sure that it was not a suicide case and later they were being pressured by the police. "If we hadn’t protested and blocked the road then the police would have succeeded in suppressing this case," he said.﻿ Unius kingREI

all criminal nazi ONU sharia ] What Sharia law may bring for non-Muslims in BruneiPublished: May 01, 2014. Punishments such as flogging, the cutting of limbs and being stoned to death will be phased in over time. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's image posted on shops in Brunei. October 2011. World Watch MonitorThe Sultan of Brunei has announced a controversial new law based on Islamic criminal punishments criticised by UN human rights officials and other human rights groups."I place my faith in and am grateful to God the Almighty to announce that Thursday May 1, 2014, will see the enforcement of Sharia law phase one, to be followed by the other phases," Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, leader of the country’s absolute monarchy government for nearly 47 years, said in a speech the day preceding the implementation of the law. Brunei, a tiny country of just over 420,000 people nestled in Southeast Asia, has already been practicing Islamic laws to regulate civil affairs such as personal and family issues, but now the laws will be extended to cover criminal offences.The new Islamic penalties will be introduced over time, at least another year or two, and will eventually include severe bodily punishments, such as: flogging for adultery, cutting of limbs for theft, and stoning to death for rape and sodomy.The first phase includes laws for offences against eating or drinking in public during Islam’s fasting month, which are punishable by fines and imprisonment.Parts of the law also apply to non-Muslims. In February, Sharia law experts from the Ministry of Women wearing hijabs in Brunei. October 2011World Watch Monitor Religious Affairs announced that non-Muslims could be punished for wearing indecent clothing that ‘disgraces Islam’. The offender could be jailed for up to six months, fined a maximum penalty of BN$ 2,000 (US$ 1,600), or both. Even now, it is mandatory for women of all religions—including Christians—to wear a hijab (head covering) if they work for the government or are attending official functions. However, now that the Sharia penal code is enacted, a violation against these religious instructions will be criminalized. In the past, church leaders claimed to receive heavy monitoring by the government so the new penal code is expected to add pressure, anxiety, and fear upon Christians who make up 8.7 percent of the population.“Brunei’s decision to implement criminal Sharia law is a huge step backwards for human rights in the country. It constitutes an authoritarian move towards brutal medieval punishments that have no place in the modern, 21st century world,” said Phil Robertson, deputy director of the Asia division at Human Rights Watch.Another restriction aimed at Christians who converted from a Muslim background includes a law that prohibits any Muslim parents from letting non-Muslims care for their child. The act is punishable by a jail term of up to five years, a fine of up to BN$ 20,000 (US$ 15,600), or both. Consequently, people who convert to Christianity can lose custody of their child should their new faith come to light. “All parental rights are awarded to the Muslim parent if a child is born to mixed-faith parents and the non-Muslim parent is not recognized in any official document, including the child’s birth certificate,” wrote the US Department of State in the 2012 International Religious Freedom Report. What’s more, once Sharia law takes effect, the restriction may be extended to daycare services operated by non-Muslims. The new penal code also cites that non-Muslims can no longer share their faith with Muslims and atheists. Offenders are at risk of being fined of up to BN$ 20,000 (US$ 15,600), sent to jail for five years at most, or both. Bruneian little girl. February 2014. World Watch Monitor. Teaching other religions outside Islam to a child of Muslims or atheists carries the same punishment. Because of this, the few Christian schools will receive a setback as many of their students are non-Christians; the school day normally begins with a reading from the Bible. “Even now, parents have started demanding that we begin every gathering with a Muslim prayer instead,” an unnamed school official told WWM. Lastly, following the lead of neighboring Malaysia, the penal code claims 19 words to belong solely to Islam. Therefore, Christians are banned from using words like Allah (God) and Firman Allah (God’s Word), which are found in the Malay language Bible commonly used by Bruneians. Christian materials also cannot be brought into the country. The extent to which the laws may affect non-Muslims is hard to predict given the fact that it is early in the implementation stage. The government admits lacking the infrastructure to support Sharia law. For one, there is a shortage of specialized judges in Sharia courts. However, with a budget of BN $2 million (US$ 1.5 million) for the 2014-15 fiscal year , it is only a matter of time before it puts the system in order. Once this is accomplished, Sharia law can be easily enforced to the small Bruneian population. By then, the above scenarios could become the reality of many Christians in Brunei, which ranks as the 24th most difficult country to be a Christian, in an annual list of 50 countries on the World Watch List.﻿ Unius kingREI

all criminal nazi ONU ] Christian and Muslim clerics pledge to tackle insecurity in N. Cameroon. Published: May 03, 2014 by Illia Djadi. About 40 Christian and Muslim leaders met in Maraoua, Cameroon on April 23-24, to promote a culture of peace and tolerance between members of different religious communities.World Watch Monitor. The focus of the search for the missing Nigerian girls has moved across the Nigerian borders – to Cameroon and Chad, with some reported sightings. As if almost in anticipation of the world’s spotlight falling upon them, and in response to incidents shortly before the girls’ kidnap, locals have been attempting to be pro-active, rather than reactive, to such unsettling events. Christian and Muslim leaders in Northern Cameroon, fearful that their region may become another area of sectarian violence, have opted for preventive measures. ‘‘We want to say no to what is happening, unfortunately, in neighboring Central African Republic and Nigeria. We want to live here in good relationships between Muslims and Christians. We say no to all those who want to come from outside to disturb our current climate of peace'' said Mgr Philip Stevens, Bishop of Maroua-Mokolo, in a telephone interview with World Watch Monitor. The long standing peaceful cohabitation witnessed by religious communities in Northern Cameroon has been challenged in recent months following the abduction of the girls, and of several Europeans, by Boko Haram militants. On April 4, a Canadian nun and two Italian priests were kidnapped in Tchéré, 18 km from the Diocese of Maroua – Mokolo. So far nothing has emerged about their whereabouts. In November 2013, the French priest Georges Vandenbeusch was abducted and then freed at the end of the year. Earlier in February 2013, seven members of a French family, including four children, were kidnapped following a visit to the Waza National Park near Lake Chad. The Moulin-Fournier family was released after two months. Due to terrorist threats and the risk of kidnapping, Westerners are advised against all travel in the region. The far-north region of Cameroon is a vast semi-desert area bordered notably by Nigeria, Chad and the Central African Republic. Despite military reinforcement, the region has become a safe haven for Boko Haram, whose violent campaign for the installation of Islamic Law in Nigeria has claimed more than 1500 lives in early 2014 (warning, hyperlinked document contains graphic imagery). Islamist insurgency and Nigeria’s military crackdown have pushed thousands to seek refuge in Northern Cameroon and elsewhere. The arrival of thousands fleeing the ongoing inter-communities’ violence in the Central African Republic to the south-east has added to the current economic and social pressures in the region.Such issues were debated by Christian and Muslim leaders as they met in Maraoua on April 23-24. The 40 attendees included Mgr Philipe Stevens, Bishop of Maroua-Mokolo, Rev. Samuel Heteck, President of the Protestant Churches Council in Northern Cameroon and Sheikh Mahmoud Mal Bakary, the Imam of Maroua’s Great Mosque.The conference, entitled "Christians and Muslims together for Peace: Fruit, challenges and prospects of interreligious dialogue in the Far-North region" pointed up the need to promote a culture of peace and tolerance between members of different religious communities. To make this happen, Christian and Muslim leaders in Northern Cameroon have pledged to set up a center for dialogue which will be equipped with documentation aimed at promoting better understanding of Islam and Christianity. A forum is also scheduled for next August in order to raise awareness of peaceful cohabitation among youth regardless of their religious background. Training centers, particularly Christian schools, constitute an important framework for promotion of better understanding, notes Mgr Stevens. ''Many Muslim students attend Christian schools. So this will help to create a strong friendship between Christian and Muslim students. That’s the kind of friendship environment we want to develop.'' The choice of the youth as the target group aims also to prevent eventual negative drifts, Mgr Stevens explained.‘‘Many unemployed people may be tempted to embrace this extremist view [Islamist] which constitutes a real threat to our society. If the young ones have a stable economic future, they will turn away from that violent group [Boko Haram].’’Nevertheless, the Catholic cleric recognizes that economic programs are needed in order to alleviate poverty in the region. "The promotion of peace is a long process and has a number of challenges" says Bakary Bouba, the traditional leader of Maroua.‘‘What we have started is a social project. As in all laboratory experiments, there may be some errors, failures and even risks. Let us, therefore, be patient, careful and never rush because it is a long process’’ he warned.This view is shared by Rev Samuel Heteck, who called on all religious communities to remain vigilant in order to safeguard peaceful cohabitation among them.﻿

all criminal nazi ONU ] Argentina´s fight to hold onto religious freedom. Published: May 05, 2014. Baptist pastor says pressure on Church is increasing. Share on facebookShare on twitterShare on google_plusone_shareShare on redditMore Sharing Services10Marcelo Nieva, 34 leader of Pueblo Grande Baptist Church in Río Tercero, a city in Argentina´s central Cordoba region. World Watch MonitorAn Argentinian pastor subjected to death threats says his country is facing a fight to retain its religious freedom. Marcelo Nieva, 34, leader of Pueblo Grande Baptist Church in Río Tercero, a city in Argentina´s central Cordoba region, says the pressure on his church has increased following the introduction of a law last year that was supposed to safeguard religious freedom but that the pastor says is having the opposite effect."The law is a threat to all Christian freedom in Argentina," Nieva told World Watch Monitor. "At first it is affecting only our church, so people don´t understand the danger of it. But we know how dangerous it is because we are living through it."Although it is only a provincial law, meaning it only applies to the state of Cordoba, Argentina’s Law 9891 was created as ‘a programme to achieve early detection and prevention of any situation of psychological manipulation, and to provide assistance to victims of manipulation.’ On the surface it seems helpful but Nieva says that since the introduction of the law in August last year, the lives of his wife Janet, 23, and their one-month-old daughter Marta have been threatened, and that the pressure on his church, the majority of whose members are former drug addicts and prostitutes, has increased. The law is intended to prevent the psychological manipulation of others, but Nieva says that it is being abused and applied to religious organisations. For example under Article 3 the law states ‘Groups that use psychological manipulation techniques: [include] all organizations, associations or movements that exhibit a great devotion or dedication to a person, idea or thing, and which employ, in their dynamic recruitment or indoctrination, coercive persuasion techniques that promote the destruction of the previous personality’. Following the introduction of the law, Nieva says his church continues to be denounced by politicians, the police and local newspapers as a "controversial sect". As a result, Nieva says "hatred" is growing against his church in the local community and that in response the police regularly attack the church, smashing windows and ransacking church property. However, Dennis Pastoor, an analyst for Open Doors International, which works to support Christians under pressure for their faith worldwide, said. In this case there is an increasing lack of understanding what religion is about, and that government authorities should not interfere too much in the church sphere. Pastor Nieva says the pressure on his church existed before the introduction of the law, but that it has since increased. He says that in the past three years, 100 of the church´s 150 members have fled because of the pressure against them.In November last year, protests were staged by a support network for the Protestant Church in Argentina (Confederación Evangélica Bautista Argentina) against the law and against the pressure on Pueblo Grande. But Nieva says these protests only increased the pressure on the church. Now, the pastor says he no longer prays for an end to the pressure on his church. Rather, he says he prays for peace and joy in the midst of his anguish. "For a long time we hoped that a miracle would happen: that the persecution would stop," he said. "But the true miracle is that we can have peace and joy in our hearts while it continues." And Nieva, who has changed address many times to safeguard his family, says that nothing will stop his work. "I really love people and believe that the pastor´s role is to father people," he said. "There is a generation of people here without fathers. God needs people to father them, to embrace them and to cry with them."﻿
